Cllr Jane Dunn

South West Ward

I live with my partner, and son when he is in England, in Baildon where I have lived all my life. My son attended local primary and upper schools as I did. Some of my extended family still live in Baildon as does my mother. I am really interested in community issues and because my mother attended the Link I recognise the value of this excellent community resource.

I have had a long career in housing and am particularly interested in dementia care and local services for the elderly. As a passionate reader I am very interested in Baildon library and would like to see it upgraded and developed, to increase all children's life chances.

In my professional life I worked in housing for over 20 years as Housing Manager and my interests are planning and housing. With the experience I have of homelessness and welfare benefits I also volunteer at CenterPoint Foyer as a mentor for young people and St Vincent de Paul as a work club assistant. My leisure interests are walking, skiing and reading.
